Chapter 1460

It’s always wise to take a good look around. Sandy was escorted out of the room by the doctor and nurse. As long as they weren’t zapping Kiran with electroshock therapy, Sandy was fine with it. Soon enough, Angelo found himself alone in the room.

As the door clicked shut, Angelo blurted, “Hey! Where are you taking my sister?” But his head was pounding, so he just wandered around, curiously taking in his surroundings like a kid in a candy store. His expressions and actions seemed genuine, not a bit put on.

The butler couldn’t resist saying, “Sir...”

“Keep it down!” Caelum commanded, thumping his cane against the floor with authority. Until he was absolutely sure that Kiran’s old personality was gone for good, Angelo wasn’t going anywhere.

“Yes, sir.” The butler obliged, guiding Caelum out of the room. Meanwhile, in a hidden corner that the cameras couldn’t catch, Kiran’s lips curled up into a sly smile.

Later that afternoon, Sophie was cozied up in Colby’s arms. Colby usually got by on just four or five hours of sleep a night, waking up naturally if he slept any longer. Feeling Sophie snuggle closer, he gently asked, “Want to catch a few more winks?”

Sophie blinked her sleepy eyes open, and seeing Colby there, she wrapped her arms around his waist, mumbling, “I’m kinda hungry.” They were cuddled up close, which wasn’t unusual in itself, but Sophie had been recovering from injuries for the past month, so they hadn’t shared a bed much.

Colby had been extra cautious not to hurt Sophie, opting to sleep on the couch while keeping an eye on her. Now, with Sophie being all cute in his arms, Colby felt a lump in his throat.

“Hmm? What’s up? You’re quiet,” Sophie noticed, still half-asleep. She felt something warm beneath her, and when she realized what it was, her cheeks turned bright red.

She thought about pulling away, but Colby tightened his grip around her waist, his voice low and gravelly, “Funny, I’m feeling a bit hungry too.” His hand was as warm as a hot iron, and there was a hint of longing in his eyes.

For the last month, he hadn’t dared to touch her much, worried about her healing wounds. Right then, he was silently asking for her permission with his gaze. But before Sophie could say anything, the ringtone of a phone broke the moment.

Sophie sighed, “The phone’s ringing.” Colby simply sat back, waiting patiently as Sophie took the call.

Seeing Reece’s name flash on the screen, Sophie answered. “Sophie, are you guys out of the country?” Reece’s voice came through the line.

Chapter 782 Hearing Reece’s familiar tone, Colby’s brows knitted together slightly. Sophie cleared her throat and replied, “Yeah, Colby and I... we’re on a little vacation.”

“You asked me to dig into something for you last time. I’ve got some leads,” Reece said.

Sophie perked up, “What kind of leads?”

“There’s a big gala tonight overseas, and word is a lot of The Silent Shadows members will be there. It’s their monthly shindig for recruiting new members. I’ll fill you in more when I get there.”

“You’re coming out here too?” Sophie asked, a bit taken aback.

Reece chuckled, “Yeah, I’m attending in a professional capacity. I reckon my status as an actor gives me enough clout.”

As Sophie continued chatting with Reece, Colby cut in, directing his words to Reece on the other end, “You done yet? “Cause I’m about to hang up.”
